Villette Chapter 2 - Paulina
from The Brontë Library Hosted by The Brontë Sisters
In which a delicate child, ensnared by a somber melancholy and obsessed by thoughts of her father, receives a stirring visit from a stern gentleman who softens under her tender ministrations, while a lively youth enters the domestic scene with an air of youthful audacity and light banter. The portrait of this household life unfurls through quiet attentions, subtle emotions, and gentle encounters that mingle the serious and the playful.
